You would have lost 48% of your investment, investment guy.
You left out the thousands of deaths for no reason in Iraq, the hundreds of thousands of deaths of Iraqi citizens, that he couldn't find OBL even saying he didn't care about it at one point, his wishing to privatized Social Security--and that would have lead to a total wipe out of millions thanks to the 512 point drop that occurred on his watch--it's a good thing smarter heads prevailed.
I would have been very happy to have been investing 10% of my Soc Sec payroll tax into the stock market when it was at 7,000. Investing a set amount monthly or quarterly is called dollar cost averaging, and I have done that for years with my own money. I would have made a helluva lot more money for my retirement had Bush got the scumbags to privatize Soc Sec. And, you would have done the same if you had a job.
We are talking about Bush's legacy, not Obama. Clinton is closer to the Democrats Reagan, Obama is the next Carter.
I think Clinton could have been their Reagan, if not for the whole horn dog thing. Again, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I really think a lot hinges on reelection. If Obama becomes a one term president, he may go down as a failure, if he wins then I think it's far more likely he could become the democrats Reagan.
Clinton was a tax raising failure his first two years. When the Republicans took over with a landslide in 1994, Clinton was enough of a politician to jump on the bandwagon and take credit for the bills the Republicans passed.
"The tax increase will…lead to a recession…and will actually increase the deficit."
— Rep. Newt Gingrich (Republican, Georgia)
The private sector lost more than 2 million jobs from 1 January to 31 March 2009 thanks to the GOP's economic policies from 1994 forward. Thanks Bush!
We need Romney but not Bush economic policies.
Barely into Ronald Reagan's 1984 convention speech and what did we get?
Our opponents began this campaign hoping that America has a poor memory. Well, let's take them on a little stroll down memory lane. Let's remind them of how a 4.8-percent inflation rate in 1976 became back-to-back years of double-digit inflation -- the worst since World War I -- punishing the poor and the elderly, young couples striving to start their new lives, and working people struggling to make ends meet.
and
Inflation was not some plague borne on the wind; it was a deliberate part of their official economic policy, needed, they said, to maintain prosperity. They didn't tell us that with it would come the highest interest rates since the Civil War. As average monthly mortgage payments more than doubled, home building nearly ground to a halt; tens of thousands of carpenters and others were thrown out of work.
and on and on
Read it here, and count how many times Reagan talks about the prior administration and the problems they left for poor Ron.
Ronald Reagan For President 1984 Convention Address

Presidents, like quarterbacks, get too much blame and too much credit.
But, since we love to keep our political discourse shallow and simplistic, I guess it would only be fair to judge Bush on what he left behind: Not one, but two horrific and costly wars, and the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression.
That's Bush's report card. It is what it is: A big, steaming pile of crap.
As for Obama, we'll see what he left behind.

It was the housing bubble that caused ALL of the job losses, not economic policy.
Do you always have to post stupidly JrunkNot true and you have no credible documentation for that silly statement.
Yes, the housing bubble reflected the banking and credit problems the bushies and their buddies let develop.

When Bush was in office....
We didn't have class warfare--Nor do we now
We didn't have 50% of the population taking government handouts Thanks to the "tough situation" he caused, more are in need of assistance than ever before
We didn't worry about transparency Amazing how you discovered transparency when Obama was elected.
There was integrity in the White HouseThe same white house that allowed the lies about Pat Tillman's death to go unpunished
We had a budget every year Yeah, most didn't have the Iraq War on them
People were patrioticand flying their flags Yeah because we were upset at the terrorist attacks that happened on his watch
There was no OWS then again, Wall Street hadn't fleeced the public for TARP until Bush was going out the door.
Our credit rating had not been downgraded That much is true; that happened under Obama
We didn't increase the deficit by 5 trillion dollars When the bill came due for 2 unfunded wars and Medicare Part D, Bush was gone; you're right.
The president never sued any states Wow..really?
The man in the Oval Office loved America He still does.
Just some of the things that follows those five little words.

Stating the FACTS is a lot different than saying the Bush tax cuts caused the problem when it was the housing bubble that actually was the culprit.
Can you deny any of the statements made by Reagan?
bigrebnc ignorantly posts the meaning of the problem, but pretends that Freddie and Fannie were somehow just a dem plot to kill America.
In fact, both parties were responsible for the mess, which is what I said above, and I thank bigreb for (1) proving my point and (2) revealing his ignorance.

There's that Jrunk and stupid showing again.
Listen up stupid and you will no longer remain stupidJah, you can't refute my point, which is you gave (once again!) the evidence proving my point as well as demonstrating your ignorance.

President Romney will restore some sanity - and some respect - in the White House. It's nothing but a spend, spend, spend orgy right now, run by the biggest bunch of bumbling idiots since the Carter Admin.
OUT THE FUCKING DOOR IN NOVEMBER !!!!
So Barney is partially responsible, bigrebnc, we all know that.
It took a Republican Congress to continue the nonsense.
Barney did not hold a gun to the head of the majority party.
